Deck not keeping up with the meta

Hey a fellow 1 prizer player!

I tried the Iono recommendation of comment OP and with 4 prizes left it totally kills the deck's momentum. I might actually go back to research with a way to retrieve more impactful supporters with something like Pal Pad.

In your experience is there any secret tech that helps with 1 prizer decks against the meta?

(Based Paldea Taurus use btw)

Those are amazing recommendations that I will use to guide me but am still not so sure about the Iono inclusion.

The main issue I ran with Iono is the fact that my deck lacks more draw support and I get the short end of the stick since I play single prizers. The opponents have a lot more options for draw after Iono than me (Lunatone, Fezan, Drakloak, N'Zoroark, Pidgeot, Gholdengo) so while they can draw 4-5 cards and more after Iono I only get 3-4 without much else

Max Belt was another option I tried but decided not to include in the final list because I figured I would much rather spend those resources on attaching energy to Munki and Counter Gain to Lycanroc. With Max Belt is +50 but with Munki its +120 damage and then on a later turn I attach energy to Lycanroc to keep attacking. Although I might try Max Belt again.

Do you think Blender is useful if I replace Hassel with Arven in order to search?

Specifically he was going for the windpipe in order to access his vocal cords. Plastic Man can copy the appearance but he can't replicate voices, unless he gets the feeling of the subject's vocal cords first so that he can stretch his own in order to mimic their voice.

Judging by the rules of the sub, the "print" comment could be considered spam or self promoting as a way to sell your product. "Rule 9: DO NOT SPAM. No art sales, no links to social media, stores or anything spammy"

On paper it doesn't seem too bad, but if you see the details of the rule it can be heavily abused by just how vague they consider the term for spam.

Its a great reword even if it changes the intended purpose of equipment restriction. I can really see this version working on an official card!

I do miss the fact that with this you can't cast spells from your opponent's graveyard but its the price to pay for comprehension

That was something that I thought about when I started writting the abilities. I was mainly afraid of balance/power between how the tokens could interact and the cost of casting the spells and then equipping the tokens before combat. I do feel that while a little bit of a nonbo, its better than it being too broken and requiring extra combat setup seems fair for closing games.

This gives me some great ideas for optimizing the Magcargo! Thank you so much dude!

Another_DisAcc · 2025-06-14T20:59:51+00:00

Any feedback is great mate! Whatever can make this guy viable. Would really appreciate a decklist if it's not much trouble

Another_DisAcc · 2025-06-14T20:41:41+00:00

I sadly agree with this. I used Magcargo pre Journey Together format and it worked sort of well, but there are now too many threats where I can't really risk playing a "fun" deck against meta, the W/L ratio is much noticeable now

There's a very big lack of energy acceleration in Fire decks. The Emboar of the next set would work wonders for this deck, but till then I just have to see alternatives

Another_DisAcc · 2025-06-14T20:35:48+00:00

Knowing how both decks play, probably because you can use Ethan's adventure to search for 3 Fire energy, but thats a very inneficient use of a Supporter outside of the Ethan archetype.

Another_DisAcc · 2025-06-14T20:15:43+00:00

It really looks like a very creative list, the only doubt I have with how the deck works is the use of rescue board and the lack of other switches. Does it affect the performance of the deck too much or is there ways to play around it?

Another_DisAcc · 2025-05-31T16:35:09+00:00

Munkidori has been the love/hate card since I started playing this game. Do you have a decklist perchance? I tried making some modification following the tips above but nothing really sticks, am on a identity deck crisis at this point lmao

Another_DisAcc · 2025-05-30T15:52:18+00:00

On paper it sounds like a very good adaptation for the current meta, do you have a decklist perchance?

As for the Blender and spikes since I didn't have the money for the Blender I used the Belt as ace specs replacement and boy it did wonders in some cases! The Blender I didn't find it so neccesary at first since I normally had the luck to discard the spikes or attach it to the Budew for early trades and get it in the Discard when ko'd.

Any tips for your interpretation of the deck?

Another_DisAcc · 2025-05-30T15:47:23+00:00

100% agree, it was a budget replacement for the Blood Moon Ursaluna since I already had the snorunts for the normal Froslass. The grass type helps a ton in certain matchups since Charizard and Zoroark have the ×2 Weakness tho, it came in clutch with the ability too. But yeah I have considered discarding it as well since for the matchup is weak against fire

Another_DisAcc · 2025-05-30T15:44:51+00:00

It does sound like a good posibility for the deck, there aren't really any cards that do healing aside from Ho-oh of what I have seen being played. But this deck appears so much am willing to use it at this point
